[Webpro] Google Ads: Bad marketing?

[listadmin]

Hi group   :)

Does anyone have similar (or contrary) experiences with Google Ads?

I recently added http://flash-sounds.com/ to my Google Ad account.
Every page got a text ad banner at the very bottom (4 ads per banner).
Some domains like sounddogs and 2, 3 others were excluded, for obvious
reasons. This was two weeks ago. And then... guess what happened?

The registrations suddenly went down to zero! (Well, there were a few
exceptions.) But yesterday, after two weeks, I decided to waive the few
dimes I get from Google and restart real business. I banned all banners
from the pages, and... yes, you're right, the registrations are coming
in again!

It still could be a coincidence, but it's hard to believe. I guess it
has to do with reputation: Seems that people trust a site definitely
more if it hasn't ads on it. But I find it rather interesting that it
makes such a difference.

Any other experiences with Google Ads?

Cheers

Mike
